You mean you have never noticed that certain postings by certain
contributors and entire threads mysteriously completely disappear?

People without any long term memories are just perfectly suited for
Gardenweb!!!

Spike Hernandez is better at banishing people and removing all record of
their ever existing than the Nazis or Stalin were!!! He is a firm believer
in the final solution for anybody he doesn't like.

When your turn comes who will speak up for you?

I visited GardenWeb the other day. Interesting. LOTS of

diversified topics

concerning all sorts of plants. Even some forums with

specifics, like

Gardening in Tennessee. And a place for new forums, made me

think ....hmmmm

a lot of us from Wreck.gardens could visit there and smooze and

name the

forum "rec.garden refugees" or maybe back yard chatting from

the

neighborhood of rec.garden" there are no restrictions other

than language.

and 99% of us are pretty good at that anyway out of common

respect. I've not

given up on wreck.gardens, just thought it was interesting.
my two cents worth.
madgardener up on the ridge, back in Fairy Holler, overlooking

English

Mountain in Eastern Tennessee zone 7, Sunset zone 36 who has

subscribed to

GardenWeb (it's free but they don't mind a donation to help run

things even

more efficiently if yer inclined)




The guy that runs the forums (fora?) on GW has the reputation of
being rather dictatorial. I sometimes (rarely) visit the bonsai
group there, but so many of the questions are about "mallsai"
(supermarket "bonsai") the visits usually are brief.

And web-based boards are clumsy.

FWIW

Jim Lewis - - Tallahassee, FL - Only where
people have learned to appreciate and cherish the landscape and
its living cover will they treat it with the care and respect it
should have - Paul Bigelow Sears.


Someone runs the boards? I've never noticed anyone being censored or
talking about rules, etc. It's just gardeners posting. Some of the
specialty boards aren't that active, but I've found so much info over
there.

I like that the posts stay up, my news server only holds posts for maybe
2 weeks. But I've never had a problem with web-based boards, especially
ones with good search capabilities.
